Wednesday evening i was sitting and i was doing my project(which i have a deadline for it),the weather was hot that day and fan system of the whole building was down and off.
I really needed to take a shower cause to relieve,but i prefered to sit and do my computer project(Cause on its previous day,was not able to do it).
I was busy with my project,that suddenly i heared the ring of the phone,it was our close neighbour friend in the apartment,which is somehow mine and my mother's friend.
She has recently bought a computer for her only nice little daughter,she asked me on phone,that her daughter doesn't like to learn working with internet from her brother,and prefers to learn that from me,(she and her little daughter are like aunt and cousin for me,as they are our close friends in this apartment).
she said it wont take more than half an hour,and she also mentioned that on thurseday,her doughter is out,that meant she was asking from me to come over and teach her on that present day(wednesday).
I knew that it would be much more than half an hour for me,cause i needed to at least take a shower and stop doing my project.
so i told her that "sorry,but now i cant cause right now i'm busy with project,and as its moving on,so i cant stop,so if couldnt come today,then i will come on friday(as mentioned about about her daughter is not home on its day after(i.e:thurseday)."
OK ,she said thanks and i thought that,when she has told that she doesnt like to learn it from his brother and wants to learn from me,she can wait until the friday in this case.
Well last night(thursday),when my mom returned from the daily walk with this close neighbour mom,she told me that "She said,her daughter learnt it from his brother.
I was just wondering that when somebody ask someone do they really expect to have a ready quick service?
What would you tell them if you see them after this story?(cause we meet eachother almost everyday)..
If you were me what would you do in this case?

It is not a big deal - Don't worry... Just remind them that you are available on Friday in case they need you. If they say that she learned it from her brother just politely say "I am sorry that I couldn't help you - I was too busy with my project that day". It is important for you to finish your work and hence what you did is right.

I'd say that if she were learning spelling, or English, then her "doughter" is better off learning it from someone else.

Don't worry about it, her brother did it, you had work to do, she being a adult should understand. If she got mad it is her problem not yours, but she most likely did not.

I wouldn't do anything. You were busy, she didn't give you enough notice. They shouldn't expect you to drop everything and come to their aid whenever they want.

You should just forget it. You offered to do what you could, when you could, and if they got someone else to help, it shouldn't make you mad at them, or them mad at you.
